Cassper Nyovest Responds to Black Coffee Calling Him the ‘GOAT’
Bloemfontein was buzzing on Saturday, December 6, as 30,500 fans packed Toyota Stadium to witness Cassper Nyovest’s latest Fill Up concerta spectacle proving yet again that local South African talent can command stadiums without international headliners.
The show didn’t just make headlines for its scale; it caught the attention of music icon Black Coffee, who took to X (formerly Twitter) afterward to declare Nyovest the “GOAT,” a term of ultimate respect in the music world.
For Nyovest, the praise was a pleasant surprise. Having stepped away from social media, he only discovered Black Coffee’s shoutout through a blog post.
“Actually, I saw this tweet in a blog. I wasn’t aware because I don’t use Twitter anymore. Just came on here to acknowledge that this means a lot to me. You’re an inspiration, GROOTMAN Laka!!! Danko!!” Nyovest shared.
The rapper also took to Instagram to personally thank the army of people behind the scenes who made the concert possibleorganisers, sponsors, dancers, photographers, sound engineers, security teams, stylists, vendors, cooks, PR and marketing teams, and most importantly, his fans.
“30,500 people in attendance without a new album, a gimmick or a publicity stunt. Just hard work and brand trust! I am grateful,” he wrote.
“I have so many highlights and will share them in the coming days. I love you, and I am overwhelmed by your support. The big question is, SHOULD WE DO THIS AGAIN? If yes, WHERE?”
